Armcur's Cottouseed.om scheme.

lBy telegraph TO the Dispatch
New YORK, March IA Galveston
special to the Times announces the ar
rival there of p. ID. Armour and his
party on their southern tour, and gives
an interview with Armour with re-
ference to report that he and his as
sociates were about to build throughout
the South n dozen or more large cotton
seed-oil mills. Mr.. Armour freely cor
roborated this report, and gave reasons
for his engaging in a new enterprise so
widely different from the business in
which his fame and fortune were ac-
CURED.
MIR. Armour stated that the use of
cottOnseed oil in the manufacture of
fGard and hog products had grown to
such an extent in late years that his es-
Establishments alone consumed one fifth
of the total cotton oil crop of the United
States. Hence cOttonsced oil was an
important item to his firm. The
American CottOn-Oil Trust Company,
q gigantic corporation, modelled some
what after the Standard-Ol Company,
by system of consolidation had ac-
CURED control Of about all the cotton
oil mills in the country, and virtually
monOpolized the article, regulating its
output and fixing its price upOn purely
arbitrary g1ounds. Recently, explained
Mr.. Armour, the Trust Company be-
came direct competitor of his firm by
the purchase of the large refinery and
packing house OF n. K Fairbanks &
Co. and the establishment of Washing
ton Butchers Sons.
GAS soon," said Armour, Gas the
Trust Company entered my field as a
lard producer | resolved to make my
self Independent of them in the matter
of cotton oil, and this could only be ac-
complshed by erecting oil mills at
available points throughout the South. "
A new oil company will organize
early next week in Chicago. Armour
will be represented at the meeting by
his Junior partners and associates. The
capital stock Of the company will be
about Sl0,O00,0 600, every dollar of
which will represent actual property.
Mr.. Armour was emphatic in his
declaration that no watering of stock
would be tolerated. He states that
his firm would hold the controlling
interest, and that all stockholders
would be consumers of the oil product.
In fact, it is the intention of the new
company to sell their oil to the stock
holders only. Armour's associates in
the gigantic undertaking comprise all
the leading soap-mannfacturers in the
United States, including J. ). Kirk 81
Co., of Chicago. Twelve of the
largest cotton-oil mills in the world
Will be erected Immediately and
equipped in time to grind the seed of
the growing cotton-plant. As TO the
location of these great mills Armour
said that four cities had thu far been
determined upon-viz., Memphis, At
lanta, New Orleans, and Houston. The
other eight cities had not been selected,
but some details must be perfected be-
fore announcing their definite location.
The Wmcs's correspondent has reason
to believe that Texas will capture three
of the new mills, Arkansas, Alabama,
and Mississippi one each.

tons in that edifice, and have deter
mined to expend some -, 500 or 70, 900

prepared, and as soon rs they are COM
pleted proposals will be invited for the
work. The basement-Aoor will be
lowered so as TO give the room about
two feet more pitch, and much better
ventilation than it now has The walls
of the basement are to be handsomely
painted or papered, which Will give

the church viii be entirely changed, 50
as to make ingress and egress more
easy and convenient. This viii be &C
complshed by large stone steps OF easy

ed. Rev. DIR. r. n. Sledd is pastor OF
this church, and he has gone to work
with energy, not only to improve the
church-building, but also TO improve
the spiritual condition OF his people.
He is holding daily prayer-meetings,
and his labors have been blessed by a
number OF conversions mostly among
the members Of the Sunday school.
II is also understood that the High
Street Methodist Episcopal church is
soon to be improved by the addition of
a handsome front. The new pastor is
Rev. George G. Vanderslice, who is
giving much satisfaction and attracting
large congregations TO hear him.
A colored rpaD was arraigned 10 tine
Mayors Court this morning on a some
what curious charge. The comslain-
ant was colored woman who declared,
from certain statements she had heard
imputed to the defendant, that she was
in fear of death or danger at his hands
This fear was founded on the belief
that the defendant was in league with
the mysterious "Ihompsonians." and
that he wanted her body for the dis.
secting-table. After hearing all the
evidence IN the case the matter was
dismissed by the mayor.
The ordinance Of baptism was adj
ministered TO a number Of candidates
